Bingo. Diferent cyc lights have different ideal throw distances.

I would spend some time on the phone talking to the sales people at Altman and at L&E (both makers of very good cyc lights). Talk to their sales people about which products make sense for your budget and needs. Then try to find a mounting distance that would work for both products. This way you have some options when the fixture package goes to bid.
